Kids love to paint. It is the best way to express your feelings and emotions. It gives wings to your imagination and improves your creative skills. It helps you to learn and explore with colours.

So with the same thought we decided to explore something new this time and thus we decided to do coffee painting today.

My Rockstar was quite surprised and amused to hear that we are going to paint with coffee…!!! The excited smile and the interest he shows are the key motivational factors for me to do more with him.

So this is a DIY Coffee Painting.

Materials Used to make DIY Coffee Painting

Coffee

Paint Brush

Paper and Pencil

Coloured Buttons

Process to make a DIY Coffee Painting

Just mix the coffee in water and keep it aside for a while. To give your painting a nice look try not to add too much water in coffee.

Meanwhile draw a tree on a paper with the help of pencil or black sketch pen.

Then start colouring the tree with the help of brush.

Keep painting the tree and keep it aside for some time.

Now, the next step is to decorate this beautiful and special tree. We decided to decorate it with some different shaped colourful buttons.

What did we learn during this process.

Creative way of using things.

Enhances hand and eye co ordination.

Builds strong decision making abilities.

Fine motor skills.

Teaches children to present aesthetically enhanced work.

Apart from learning its a great way to keep your kid engaged and happy while indoors. So can be done during summer vacation or winter holidays. Also, You don’t need much to get started – coffee, water, paint brushes and buttons are easily available and won’t burn a hole through your pocket 🙂
